200m World champions Shericka Jackson and Dina Asher-Smith as well as American Sha’Carri Richardson are set to clash in a loaded field assembled for the Women’s 100m at the Doha Diamond League scheduled for May 5.

Jackson, the reigning World champion in the half-lap event, enters this race on the back of a world-leading 10.82 which she did to win at Velocity Fest 13 at the National Stadium in Kingston on April 22. She famously became the fastest woman alive in the 200m when she ran 21.45 to win that 200m title in Eugene. She also ran a personal best 10.71 for silver in the 100m.

Asher-Smith, who took top spot in the 200m at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, will be competing in her first outdoor race of the season. In February, she set a new British record 7.03 on her way to winning the 60m at the Birmingham World Indoor Tour Final.

Also in the field will be American Sha’Carri Richardson, who ran wind-aided times of 10.75 and 10.57 at the Miramar Invitational on April 8.

The line-up is completed by Zoe Hobbs, Abby Steiner, Melissa Jefferson, Teahna Daniels and Twanisha Terry.
